Chapter 5: Q 7. (page 246)

Suppose thatE is an event. Use probability notation to represent

(a) the probability that event E occurs.

(b) the probability that event Eoccurs is 0.436

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) P(E).

Part (b)P(E)=0.436.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

Suppose thatEis an event. Use probability notation to represent the probability that event E occurs.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Write the probability notation to represent the probability that event E occurs.

We know from the concept of probability that any occurrence should have a probability that is greater than 0 but less than 1.

Any event's probability can be written as:P(E)

03

Part (b) Step 1. Write the probability notation to represent the probability that event E occurs is 0.436.

Any event's probability can be stated as P(E).

Therefore, the occurrence of an event with a probability of "0.436" can be written in probability notation as:

P(E)=0.436
